Effects applied to text and objects in Photo and Designer


Recommended Posts

Hi!

In Affinity Designer to apply effects to text and objets is made via Layer - Layer effects.

In Affinity Photo there is no the same way. Layer effects des not exist. Go to Studio - Effects.

I know that it seems something obvious, but for people that use a lot Affinity Designer could get lost finding a way to do the same effects to a text or/and a object in both applications.

I do not know how this effects are applied in Affinity Publisher but I hope that I buy soon the third application of the suite ;)

It's the same in Designer and Photo. Both have the Effects panel in the studio. And both have effects (fx) in the Layers panel. Here's a screenshot from Photo, showing the Layers panel:

 I think @krollian may be pointing out that there is no Layer > Layer Effects... menu command in APhoto like there is in Designer, hence it may be confusing to users that use Designer and expect it to be in the same place in APhoto

Publisher is the same as Designer (i.e. Layer > Layer Effects... menu command is available in the Layer menu)
